26、the energy that she brought to it. Just a few days after that party, I took my first lesson with Moira, and I continued taking lessons with Moira throughout middle school. When I started playing the violin with Moira, playing music became something that I loved. She introduced me to so many types of

27、 music, from Irish to Old Time, to Cajun. Moira also taught me to play the guitar. Soon we started performing together and were shocked to discover that people actually wanted to hear us! When I began to play the violin, practicing was something that I did at home in my living room, but with Moiras

28、influence it quickly became something that I did everywhere. I played on street corners, at festivals, at the beach, at parties, at weddings, and late at night in my friends kitchens.

34、rly settlers often went to sleep to the sound of a lonely lullaby (摇篮曲). It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then. One kind was the North American timber wolf. Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. In Colorad

35、o, people tried to help deer by shooting wolves. But then there were so many deer starved to death. The timber wolf is on the endangered special list. Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth. People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, a

36、nd highways. Timber wolves are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Michigan, and Minnesota. This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever.

Therefore, biologists at the academy had a wetsuit (橡胶制的潜水服) created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool. Unlike marine mammals(海洋哺乳动物) which have a lay

54、er of fat to keep them warm, penguins depend on their waterproof(防水的) feathers.

57、penguin with a black stomach.
